@cbcvancouver: A program is helping vulnerable people find purpose and pride through work, its organizers say. Members sheltered by Ruth & Naomi's Mission in Chilliwack, B.C., many of whom are experiencing homelessness and addiction, are cleaning city streets four days a week, gathering at 8:30 a.m. with their equipment before heading to downtown streets. In June, the province provided $125,000 to help expand the program, which is a partnership between the shelter and the Downtown Chilliwack Business Improvement Association. Organizers say the program also helps people find other jobs, permanent housing and connect with the community. CBC's Baneet Braich spent a morning with the team. #Chilliwack #homelessness #recovery #cbcvancouver #abbotsford #chilliwack #givingback #fraservalley

This should be in exchange for permanent low-barrier accessible housing, not just as a step towards it.
